The blonde maid opened her hands, and the smile on her face was still so simple and beautiful.

But seeing Ariel now, the tide that was able to laugh just now couldn't laugh at all. Even for Ariel's open arms, it was half a step backwards.

He stared at the maid deadly...... Looking at her beautiful face, which was not much inferior to Alice, and looking at her current attitude of completely putting her life on the line, for a long time, for a long time......

The smile on the corner of his mouth resurfaced again.

The prince came to the bedside, stretched out his hand, and gently ran his fingers over Alice's delicate face, and said with a smile—

"Looks like you're prepared."

Ariel put away her hand, pinched the hem of the maid's skirt again, and saluted the prince: "If His Royal Highness the prince doesn't believe it, you can come and hug me, I won't resist, and I don't have the ability to resist." ”

"No, of course I do, completely."

Tide took off his nightgown, turned over to the bed, pulled up the futon to cover his body, smiled at Ariel next to him again, and said, "Since you have made such an awareness, then of course I have nothing to say." But I want you to remember, Ariel Garcia. ”

He held out a finger and pointed at Ariel's nose and smiled wickedly—

"I will let you know that rejecting me will be the biggest mistake you will ever make in your life."

After saying that, he turned over and hugged his fiancée's body. And the eldest lady also seemed to feel that she was being hugged in her sleep, and it was the other way around, she hooked her husband with both hands, and showed a simple smile in her sleep.

…………

Whew, for now...... It's kind of a mess.

Ariel stood aside, trying to wait.

It was only after the prince finally let out a soft sound of sleep that he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down silently against the wall as if he were paralyzed.

Outside the door, the sound of night patrol soldiers was heard. In this situation, if you walk around in the imperial city where you are not familiar with your life, you will definitely run into soldiers, and you may really cause a lot of trouble.

In that case, can I really only sleep in the prince's room tonight? Can you only huddle in this corner?

Alas...... At the moment, there really isn't any other way.

Ariel curled up her legs, hugged herself, rested her head on her knees, and looked at the fiancée sleeping on the bed in front of her.

The Prince's Bed...... It's huge. It seems that even three people can sleep more than enough......

However, it's a pity that this prince really doesn't have an appetite for himself.

In fact, sometimes Ariel imagines the scenes she just experienced. He was a dowry maid, and the prince could let himself into his bed reasonably and legally. What's more, going to the man's bed by himself still got the approval of the hostess, and it can even be said that he supported it.

I only need to nod my head slightly, so with my relationship with the eldest lady, and the fact that this prince seems to have a little bit of interest in himself, I am afraid that I really don't have to worry about anything in this life......

From an abandoned girl who was thrown at the door of the Duke's Mansion by her poor parents at the age of five to the mistress of the second prince of the Blue Bay Empire, this class leap can be described as a dream, right?

As long as I showed a little bit of unfirmness in the "duel" just now, and even as long as I really didn't drink that bottle of poison with a little hesitation, then I ...... I'm afraid that I will really enter a new world and become the kind of girl who only needs to worry about what to eat, what clothes to wear, and what afternoon tea to drink all day, right......?

The eldest lady is really a good person, she is even a little simple.

A noble girl who has not been familiar with the world since she was a child perfectly fits all the elements of beauty, kindness, gentleness, innocence, and so on. This point, with Ariel growing up with her since she was a child, can confirm that there is absolutely no problem with this.

Therefore, Ariel even felt that as long as she used a little bit of dim sum and had a little bit of heart, she was afraid that she could make this eldest lady the kind of princess who was raised in the depths of the palace and was just a mascot. As for himself, he can accompany the second prince to various occasions as a mistress, and play the effect of occupying the magpie's nest. Anyway, it is not a very strange thing for nobles to go out these days without their own wives and mistresses.

All of this is just a nod of your head, you only need to be able to relax a little, you only need to make your endurance a little weaker......

The aristocratic world is beckoning to itself. My future life will also become bright!

Apart from......

Except, other girls whose "luck" is not good enough.

Ariel reached out and gently touched her face.

The seventeen-year-old girl's face is still so delicate, even after three years of hard work outside, it still exudes a strong vitality.

Oh, yes...... The reason why he was able to cross the class and become a royal mistress from a slave was because of this unique beautiful face.

relied on his own blonde hair that happened to be the same as the eldest lady.

relied on the eldest lady's benevolence and kindness and her own "cunning".

So......

What about the girls who don't have their own beauty?

And what about the girls who were not able to be so "lucky" and become slaves of the nobility? What about the girls who were also not so lucky and were favored by other nobles?

The only one who can become the mistress of the royal family is herself.

No matter how much the second prince cares, it is impossible for him to regard all the girls born in poor families in the country as his mistresses.

So...... If I really agreed, then all the things I have worked on in the past three years ...... What's the point?

The more she thought about it, the more scared Ariel became.

Cold sweat broke out on her back, and her hands kept beating her head, afraid of the hesitant feelings she had just felt about yearning for an aristocratic life.

Want to prove yourself...... It's really not easy......

Even though the results haven't really been announced yet, the mere thought of it makes Ariel tremble with fear.

In this trembling, she leaned her head against the cupboard next to her, closed her eyes, and fell asleep silently.

Because she knew that her battle was not over...... There are many things that must be done until she wakes up.

————

The imperial city on January 1 is full of vigor.

After a night of hilarity, there is still a remnant of last night's warmth in the city. When the sea breeze blows from the sea, people don't even have to wrap their cotton clothes tightly.

Smack-

A small slap slapped Ariel's face. She couldn't help but be startled and immediately woke up. When I turned my head, I saw that my vice president had already woken himself up as agreed.

After seeing Ariel wake up, the little white cat immediately burrowed into the gap behind the closet and disappeared.

Ariel was slightly stunned, quickly got up, and took out her pocket watch to take a look.

It's already seven o'clock in the morning, and there are less than five hours left before the time to detoxify.

She exhaled slightly, stood up, and patted her apron slightly.

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.

Ariel looked at the second prince and the eldest lady who had not yet gotten up on the bed over there, walked to the door, and asked softly through the door, "Who?" What's the matter? ”

"Ah, it's Sister Ariel? Hee-hee. ”

Outside the door, there was the maid's brisk laughter—

"On the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I came to invite His Royal Highness the Second Prince and the Imperial Concubine to get up and wash up as soon as possible, and the sacrificial parade on the first day of the first month of the first month will start in three hours, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has specially instructed that the Second Prince and the Second Imperial Concubine should try not to be late."

Ariel answered softly, and only after the maid outside the door had left did she turn her head to look at the fiancée on the bed.

Come to think of it, did you really spend a night with them? They really didn't doubt that the maid who came back after three years was an assassin.

While muttering, Ariel walked to the bed and said softly, "Miss, it's already seven o'clock in the morning, please get up as soon as possible." You are now a quasi-imperial concubine, and you need to have the consciousness of being a royal family. ”

With Ariel's continuous thoughts, the would-be princess finally woke up slowly. She stretched, and opened her eyes a little reluctantly, as if she was still a little confused.

Ariel picked up a dressing gown and put it on for the princess-to-be. At the same time, he also went to call the second prince.

But obviously, the second prince was too high last night, no matter what Ariel called, he didn't wake up now.

"Ah...... Ariel...... Where am I now......? My Doll Bear ...... And everybody......"

Alice got up in a daze, and habitually reached out to touch the toys beside her bed. But when I reached out and touched it, I touched the face of the tide.

Obviously, she was slightly surprised! Then, the shy memory of last night immediately took over the eldest lady's mind, making her face flush again.

Instinctively, she reached out and touched between her legs (harmony), and after hesitating for a moment, she looked at the tide that was still sleeping beside her, and couldn't help but smile sweetly and get out of bed.

"Miss, ten o'clock will be the first day of the festival parade held by the royal family, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes that the second prince and the eldest lady will attend together. This parade will be the first time that the eldest lady will appear in front of all her subjects as a future princess, which can be regarded as a royal family's announcement to the people, please don't be late. ”
